Putin forced to grin and bear it as choir butchers Russian anthem

Russian President Vladimir Putin is fiercely protective of his country's dignity, so it can only be imagined how he really felt when an Egyptian choir butchered the Russian national anthem during a state visit this week.

Mr Putin visited Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi on Tuesday, where the duo committed to a stronger partnership and the fight against terrorism.

However, the Russian strongman was greeted by a hilariously off-key rendition of his country's anthem, Gosudarstvenny Gimn Rossiyskoy Federatsii.
